We thank the Lord for the effective ministry He has entrusted to PFC’s national community through PFC by Phone, Bridgecare, In-Prison, and Restorative Justice programs. We pray that the Lord will help us to continue to improve upon the processes of these programs to help them work within every institution’s context.

We thank the Lord for sustaining us through the ebb and flow of being a charity fully supported by donor contributions for all of these years. We ask the Lord to continue to pour out His support for the vision He has given us for reconciliation and ask that no need for ministry growth will […]

With the changing landscape of how technology has impacted the way we do things, we pray that we will continue to find inspiration that helps us to best utilize the latest technological advancements in our workflow and ministry.

We thank the Lord for the light hearts that He gives us for such heavy work. May He guard our hearts so that we never lose our love for ministry. May we continue to find joy in His service and find ways to encourage ourselves like David did in his darkest moments.

The struggle with immediate and even long-term shame for prisoners after release is a very real and daily battle. We pray that the joy and comfort that the Gospel gives to us to overcome the effects of shame in our lives would far outweigh the despair and hopelessness that permeates the lives of so many, post-incarceration.

With all of the information now available at our fingertips, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to know where to start. We pray that the Holy Spirit would guide returning citizens to the right resources that adequately equip them to grow deeper in their understanding of the Holy One.

We thank the Lord for congregations who love you and their commitment to pray for prisoners, ex-prisoners, their families, and the victims of crime, along with all the other issues of justice at every level of government. May the Lord restore our judicial system into one that truly reflects the heart and structure for transformation.

We pray that more churches across Canada would sense the move of the Holy Spirit and get involved with justice-affected individuals within their communities. We pray that churches would be known as healing places for ex-prisoners to find comfort, establish identity, and grow as disciples of Jesus as God gently leads them.

We’re thankful that prisoners are connecting with PFC’s Faith & Justice curriculum; with Bridgecare mentors, and through the PFC By Phone program, but we ask the Holy Spirit to take each of these connection points to deeper places in the year ahead.

We pray and ask the Lord to help the hurting families of prisoners to find the full breadth of support necessary to assist them in navigating the difficulties of walking with an incarcerated  loved one. We ask the Lord to raise up supportive communities through the local church to surround the families of prisoners.

Whether through the Scriptures, a spoken word of encouragement, or even a dream, we ask the Lord to plant a seed of the holy vision that Jesus has for every one of these incarcerated lives that stirs up their imaginations to see themselves as He sees them. We cry out for the restoration of hope.

We thank the Lord for the powerful waves of conversation He has inspired through discussions about the biblical parable of the prodigal son. We ask the Lord to meet every participant of this Faith & Justice series program exactly in the place where they are and draw them nearer to Himself.

We pray that all across Canada, children with an incarcerated parent would have the opportunity to attend an accredited summer camp through PFC’s Angel Tree Camping program. We pray that through the experience, these little ones would grow in confidence, maturity, leadership skills, and have lots of fun-loving memories.

We lift up caregivers of prisoners’ children all across Canada and ask the Holy Spirit to draw them deeper into community-connections through local Christian churches. We also pray that the caregivers with Angel Tree children attending camp this summer, will find time for rest and renewal as well.

We praise the Lord for the answer to our prayers in sending us employers in the trades last month who are willing to employ the justice-affected. We pray that many more opportunities will continue to surface in every different work-field in major cities in Ontario.

We pray for creative inspiration to overcome every obstacle in the ministry. We ask the Lord for wisdom in growing out PFC’s program reach; for favour in building church partnerships, for creativity in designing program materials that best appeal to the demographic we serve, and for imagination in modernizing our reach through social media platforms.

We pray that through PFC curriculum used both inside and outside of institutions across Canada, that those we serve will come to know the good things that Jesus has for each of us. We pray for courage for participants to rewrite their stories into a bold new narrative that doesn’t define them by their past, […]
